22 Sales Deck Examples to create a Winning Sales Presentation

By Erika Collins on May 02, 2017

You've identified and connected with your prospect, explored their situation, and booked a meeting. Your prospect is getting close to making a decision, but first you have to give them your sales presentation.

Things are getting serious.

Your sales deck should provide a background to your presentation, but what goes in a great sales deck?

The goal of a sales deck is to "visually and textually present your sales narrative to your ideal customer in a way that convinces them to buy your solution." - Peter Kazanjy

Sales Deck Guidelines

Your sales deck should support your presentation. It provides a starting point and context to have a conversation around, not a crux to coast through a generic pitch.

Opt for graphs, charts, images and white space over text. The more words on the page, the more they're reading the text and not listening to what you're saying.

The meeting is for your prospect, not you. If they'd like to steer the conversation in a new direction then let them do so. Be flexible and adapt to where your prospects interests lie.

The less they talk the less chance you have of closing the sale. Even though you're presenting this is still a two way dialogue, so get them involved in the conversation where you can.

Tailor your presentation based on your prospects interests. It should feel like it's customized to them. Don't have an overly broad focus - use what you've learned about your prospect and what they care about.

At a minimum, your Sales Deck should include:

Who you are: keep it brief and relevant

The "before" or problem section: make them feel the pain

The "after" or solution section: show them how good life can be

Why you're the best solution: connect the dots between before, after and your solution

Who else you're working with: validate your solution with social-proof

A call-to-action: bring the conversation to a head (e.g. with pricing, they're going to ask)
